Recurrence of macular corneal dystrophy on the graft 50 years after penetrating keratoplasty

Abstract: Purpose: To report the recurrence of a macular corneal stromal dystrophy 50 years after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).Methods: Observational case reportCase description: A 76-year-old male patient presented with visual impairment in the right eye (OD) 50 years after PKP in 1962 (44 years after PKP also in the left eye (OS) in 1968) following explosion injury. His visual acuity had already been impaired before the trauma because of bilateral corneal opacities. The central corneal thickness of the graft measured 584 µm (OD) and 544 µm (OS), whilst the peripheral host thickness (8 mm zone), however, was 1233 µm (OD, cranial) and 1131 µm (OS, nasal). The original graft diameter measured 6 mm in both eyes and the recipient cornea was cloudy and gray. The endothelial cell count was measured centrally (OD 1162 c/mm2, OS 1320 c/mm2). The visual acuity was 20/100 (OD) and 20/40 (OS). After excimerlaser-assisted repeated PKP (8.0/8.1 mm, OD), the histological analysis of the former gra...
